Do you think Brian and Roger will ever make a studio version of Imagine?

Just listing to a live version of Imagine and was thinking would you like to hear a version with Brian & Roger?

I don't think so. At least Queen never wanted to put any cover in the albums. They only recorded a bit of ''New York'' for Highlander and maybe a medley in the early days, that's all.

They did Imagine live with Freddie when Lennon was murdered and with Paul in Hyde Park. If anything, maybe they did a cover with Rodgers, at the same time of ''Runaway''.

That and SOUVENIR .... which has STILL never been released.

Kinda hoped they'd have thrown the fans a bone and put it out by now. Expected way too much from the QF hype.


If Brian's recorded bits for BBC's version of God only knows then maybe on one of johns anniversaries there'll be another collaborative effort

"Souvenir" was never recorded. GT looked into it a while ago.

No i would not want Brian & Roger to record imagine without Freddie as he would have made a better job of the vocal,
too late now though.

Blah blah fucking boo hoo Who gives a fuck what YOU want.

The question was WILL not does fucking Gerry want

Yes, imagine is almost sacred, it would have had to be Freddie only, I'm afraid.

VOCAL HARMONY: You are getting very pathetic mate, i do not care of your opinions either,
so get back under your rock where you belong!
If you cannot write a civil message then stop wasting space on the threads.
Quite frankly i do not give a shit what you think, so get lost.

Thanks for letting me know about that. I'd always hung onto the idea that it was recorded.


Imagine would be great if Brian and Roger recorded it. I think it would be evidence of the crappy music era we're in if it were oversung to tastelessness by Adam.

No offense but everybody knows that.




Couldn't be worse than that version recorded by a perfect circle/tool er whatever

about 30 years too late. Only Freddie could do it and he did it better than Lennon.

Freddie sang it a few times in 1980 after Lennon's murder. Eat your heart out.

FFS, IMHO Freddie Mercury is the greatest singer in rock history by a country mile. He could not have done a better version of Imagine than John Lennon did in a million years. According to some people on this forum, Adam Lambert is a better singer (at least live, pardon me for throwing up in my mouth) than Freddie Mercury. Who believes that AL could do a better version of Bohemian Rhapsody than Freddie Mercury did? Singing isn't hitting notes. It's emoting and selling the story of the song. Brian has a vulnerability that lends itself to Long Away, 39, Leaving Home Ain't Easy that would have destroyed the songs if Freddie sang them. Again, Neil Young has more displayed more emotion in one verse than I've heard from Adam Lambert in his life, and he's not in the same universe as a singer.

I guess a thread without Adam Lambert coming up is too much to ask

Well they could restore what was recorded on that show and release it but I think that getting it out (copyright, Lennon estate, P. McCartney) would be even harder than releasing the MJ duets.
